1993 Post Baseball (It's Free)

I came across this small set recently and decided I had to have it. As much as I like food issued oddball sets - for which the 90's are loaded - this seemed to fit that bill. So when I saw this on an auction site I put in a small bid because I really had no idea how to value these. But I still came away a winner! I know that many collectors won't consider buying this type of set but I don't shun them. Many sets like this are loaded with superstars of the era and often times the design is rather fetching. I guess you could kind of consider this to be a subset, but these two cards highlight a career achievement for two players whose careers have mirrored each other since they came in the league. Amazingly, both players crossed the 3000 hit plateau in the same month. The red and black stripes are a catchy look and I don't mind the vertical stripe on the right. Though I kind of wish the Post logo was a bit smaller. It just seems to jut out there in the picture. F

1988 Topps FB - It's Terrific

It's been a long time since I've written a post on football cards. We really don't see enough of these on the blogs. Even though the football season has wound down, I'm still excited to find football cards from sets that date way back, especially those sets I've been meaning to get to. So for the last 36 years, I've been meaning to complete the Topps Football set from 1988. I'm not really sure why I had put this off for so long. Maybe it's because like most cards from the late 80's and 90's, I took them for granted and assumed they will always be cheap and affordable. For the most part that is still true. And it is still true for this set. I've always liked the design of these cards and the helmets harken back to the 1982 set. The border color that match the team's colors and the All Pro/Super Rookie tags are nice. If anything the only distracting feature is the Topps logo. Speaking of Super Rookies, this guy was at the top of ev

Crocodile Blogoversary!

It's another Crocodile anniversary today! Year 2 of the blog has been great and I aim to make year 3 better. It's been fun writing about my collection and trading with others, but one of the best things this blog does is help me stay on track when it comes to completing sets. I always have my phone handy at card shows and the easy access to my set needs has been incredibly valuable. Another valuable asset of the blog has been anyone who takes their time to read this! It is appreciated and I try to reward readers with occasional giveaways. Speaking of which, according to recent stats my original Nonsports Nonsense post has been supplanted by the 1993 Post giveaway as the most popular post! In case you missed it, I still have some of those sets available. Even though I didn't quite reach my goal of hitting the 200 post mark in year 2, I'm still celebrating by giving away a box of cards! Yep, this is a 200 count box, loaded with cards from all sports (the majori
